About this blog

This is all a collection of what I have learnt during my medical student years, most of them are already a simplified version, very clinical, and comes from what my Lecturer had thought.... I love to make notes in my own way, so that I can have a better understanding on what I have seen.... I hope, this will benefit all people, especially medical students... so that you will get this right... but just bear in mind... I'm a human too... so, mistakes is still in my dictionary of life.... so, please correct me if I'm wrong... Really2x appreciate that....

Thank You....
